[R-sig-ME] Question about proportion data in binomial glmm

I have a question about how glmmtmb handles proportion data for the
purposes of a binomial glmm.
I combined my success and failure count data into a matrix using cbind(),
and used that as my response in my binomial glmm using glmmtmb.
However, despite there being a few instances of zero counts in both columns
and therefore an undefined proportion, the model doesn't seem to drop these
rows from my data set.
I don't get any errors or warnings when running the model, but I worry my
results might be biased because of this.
My question is: Is glmmtmb doing something like adding a tiny amount to
each value of my response in order to avoid dealing with undefined
proportion data?
Thank you for your help,
Robert
